What are 3 hints that Montresor gives to Fortunato?

Answer 1

In 'The Cask of Amontillado,' Montresor provides numerous clues that had Fortunato been paying attention, might have seemed strange. First of all, he is continuously making references to Fortunato's health and the dangers of wet cold conditions. Obviously, this hints at the condition, Fortunato will soon find himself in. Next, when they discuss the Freemasons, Fortunato doubts Montresor is a member. He isn't even curious about why Montresor just happens to have a trowel on his person, which he reveals to prove his membership. When Montresor goes into a diatribe about his family coat of arms, Fortunato is either too drunk to pay heed.

Answer 2

1. Montresor lures Fortunato into the catacombs with the promise of tasting Amontillado, a rare and valuable wine.
2. He induces Fortunato to accompany him by mentioning that he will ask another expert for his opinion on the wine.
3. Montresor reveals that his family motto is "Nemo me impune lacessit" ("No one insults me with impunity"), a subtle warning of his sinister intentions.

Answer 3

Fortunato is a sucker for good wines so Montresor tells him that he has Amontillado. Fortunato then insists to go to Montresor's vaults.
